Rules:
1. Use proper title format
Do not make up post tags. New releases should be tagged [FRESH], [FRESH ALBUM] (or MIXTAPE) or [FRESH VIDEO] only. [FRESH] tags should only be applied to official music & music videos, not leaks, interviews, articles, art, live footage, etc. [SHOTS FIRED] should only be used for legitimate beef, not jokes or competition among artists.
Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.
Post Tags:
[FRESH] [ORIGINAL] [HYPE] [SHOTS FIRED] [DISCUSSION] [LEAK] [MIXTAPE]

Any recommendations from true up-and-comers? I feel like even folks who I'd consider the current "new school" have been active for several years now, like JID, Saba, Smino, JPEG, etc. (billy woods' career has certainly bloomed recently but of course he's got nearly 20 years in the game at this point.)
I can think of redveil and Paris Texas for sure, plus Chika's current album rollout is crazy. I really thought she was done making music, but now she's 3/3 on singles and the Freddie Gibbs song is an instant classic.
Snotty Nose Rez Kids have also been releasing music for a few years now, but I feel like that whole Vancouver-area Indigenous scene definitely feels like a fresh new locus of hiphop. Kimmortal and Dioganhdih being a part of that too.
Of course part of the situation too is that the barrier of entry to making/publishing music is so low that even new names have music out there from when they were like 16. redveil, Paris Texas, and Chika have all released short projects throughout the past few years but it's hard to call that an established career.
I'm not sure he will become A-List big, but That Mexican OT is definitely growing quick.
